Stampin’ Up! Feels Like Home Fun Fold

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? Hope you are able to plan some fun activities. I get to attend my virtual monthly team meeting today. It doesn’t matter in person or virtual, they are always fun.

I have a quick fun fold card for you today using 2 of the Sale-a-bration items that are available now. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Feels Like Home Sale-a-bration Cling Stamp Set along with the Beautifully Penned Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design is from Try Stampin’ On Tuesday Challenge #518.

I also played along with Just Us Girls Trend Week Challenge #597.

I started by adhering a panel of Beautifully Penned SAB DSP to a Basic Black card base using Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered a strip of the Beautifully Penned SAB DSP to the side of the Basic Black card base using Stampin’ Seal. I wrapped a piece of black twine from the Bakers Twine Essentials Pack around the side of the card front and tied a bow.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the large image from the Feels Like Home SAB stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered the panel to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a small strip of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Feels Like Home SAB stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Using my Banners Pick A Punch I made it into a banner. I cut a strip of Basic Black cardstock into a panel using the Banners Pick A Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the Basic Black banner using Stampin’ Seal and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Black Matte Dot to the sentiment.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment, flowerpot and vine images from the Feels Like Home SAB stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered the panel to a Basic Black mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Basic Black card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the flower pot image from the Feels Like Home SAB stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Beautifully Penned SAB DSP on the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. The stamp set and Designer Series Paper are both Sale-a-bration items that can be earned FREE with a qualifying order. I’d be happy to help you earn these items, just ask me how. Happy Stamping!!

Updates To The Online Store For Sale-a-bration!

To enhance the shopping experience, Stampin’ Up! is making improvements to the online store—specifically the process of selecting Sale-A-Bration items while shopping.  During the August to September Sale-a-bration event, the earned Sale-A-Bration items will be selected during the checkout process.

Here are some visuals that will walk you through the new checkout process:

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is screen-shot-2021-07-27-at-8.17.40-am.png

Add your items to the shopping basket and add your host code just like you normally do.  Beginning on August 3, once your order reaches $50, you will see a note at the top of the shopping basket page about redeeming your Sale-a-bration items at checkout.  Once all of the items have been added to your order, click pink the “checkout” button on the right side of the screen.

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is screen-shot-2021-07-27-at-8.19.15-am.png

The next page will show you how many Sale-a-bration items you’ve earned and if you’ve earned the free host exclusive stamp set, that will be shown on this page too.  To start redeeming your free items, click the “+” sign to the right of the headings.

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is screen-shot-2021-07-27-at-8.19.00-am.png

Click the little shopping basket image under the free product(s) that you’d like to add to your order.  If you change your mind, click the small icon to the right of the shopping cart button with the “x” on it.  That will remove the item from your cart and allow you to add something else.

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is screen-shot-2021-07-27-at-8.19.36-am.png

If you’ve earned a level 2 item, click the “+” arrow to the right of that heading and those items will appear as options to add to your cart.

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is screen-shot-2021-07-27-at-8.19.56-am.png

If you’ve earned the free host stamp set with an order of $300+, you can click the “+” button to the right of the header to add that item to your cart.

Once you’ve added your items to the cart, the “continue” button on the upper right will turn pink and you can click on it and then check out like you normally would.  If you don’t want the free items, you can chose to “check out without using my rewards” but you will not be able to cash in those free items later.  So make sure that you add the items that you’d like before you check out!

Hopefully these changes will make the store easier to use and navigate for Sale-a-bration!  You’ll see the addition of the Sale-a-bration items to the checkout process beginning on August 3 and running through September 30.  Let me know if you have questions as you start placing those orders on Tuesday!

HAPPY SHOPPING!!!

Stampin’ Up! Counting Sheep Sliding Gate Fold for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday the 13th morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. Is anyone superstitious out there? I’m not. My daughter and I along with my nephew, niece and her 2 boys, spent all day yesterday on the beach. I took the day off from my daily life and went and sat, walked swam and jumped waves for 8 hours yesterday. It was AMAZING. We had such a beautiful HOT day, but on the beach you don’t even feel the heat, especially when your in the water as much as we were. The sunburn today is telling me a little different. How was everyone’s week? Does anyone have any plans for the weekend yet? I’ll be working all day Saturday and attending my virtual team meeting on Sunday. We have a lot of fun even at our virtual meetings.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you were able to watch me, you were able to see what not to do when making this card. Luckily I was able to fix it without having to redo too much. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Counting Sheep Cling Stamp Set along with the Sheep Dies for my card today. I also used the Stampin’ Up! In Your Words Cling Stamp Set for the sentiments. All 3 of these items are from the August-September Sale-a-bration Catalog and are free with qualifying orders.

I started by adhering 2 panels of Pattern Party Host Designer Series Paper to Basic White mats using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered the 2 layered panels to the front of a Bermuda Bay card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

For the sliding mechanism I started by cutting a Bermuda Bay panel with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I adhered a small panel of the Basic White cardstock to the back of the scalloped rectangle using Stampin’ Seal. I scored 2 of the Basic White panels and folded them in half. I adhered the 2 folded panels folded edge in on the back of the scalloped rectangle. I adhered another one of the small Basic White panels on top of the folded panels using Stampn’ Seal. On the last small Basic White panel I stamped the grass image from the Counting Sheep stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the sentiment from the In Your Words stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the top of the panel. I cut a panel of In Good Taste Designer Series Paper using the fence die from the Sheep Dies and adhered it to the Basic White panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sheep image from the Counting Sheep stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Petal Pink and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I removed some of the ink using my Color Lifter to lighten the color. I cut the sheep out using my Sheep Dies and embossed the sheep using my Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I stamped the party hat image from the Counting Sheep stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and cut the image out using my Sheep Die. I colored the hat in using my Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green, Poppy Parade and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the hat to the sheep using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the sheep to the Basic White panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut the balloon from a scrap of Pumpkin Pie cardstock and adhered it to the sheep. I adhered the artwork to the scalloped rectangle using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Artistry Bloom Adhesive-Backed Sequins to the artwork

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the In Your Words stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the sheep image from the Counting Sheep stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and colored the image in using my Petal Pink and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the grass image below the sheep in Granny Apple Green Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pumpkin Pie mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Bermuda Bay card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the sheep image from the Counting Sheep stamp set on the envelope front and colored it in using my Petal Pink and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the grass image from the Counting Sheep stamp set below the sheep in Granny Apple Green Ink. I adhered a panel of Pattern Party Hose DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. If you do CASE this card, please feel free to post it in the comments of my Facebook page under the post. I’d love to see your take on the card. The list of measurements are below if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video. You can watch my video on my Facebook page Here.

You can also view the video on my YouTube channel Here. Happy Stamping!!

Updates To The Online Store For Sale-a-bration!

To enhance the shopping experience, Stampin’ Up! is making improvements to the online store—specifically the process of selecting Sale-A-Bration items while shopping.  During the August to September Sale-a-bration event, the earned Sale-A-Bration items will be selected during the checkout process.

Here are some visuals that will walk you through the new checkout process:

Add your items to the shopping basket and add your host code just like you normally do.  Beginning on August 3, once your order reaches $50, you will see a note at the top of the shopping basket page about redeeming your Sale-a-bration items at checkout.  Once all of the items have been added to your order, click pink the “checkout” button on the right side of the screen.

The next page will show you how many Sale-a-bration items you’ve earned and if you’ve earned the free host exclusive stamp set, that will be shown on this page too.  To start redeeming your free items, click the “+” sign to the right of the headings.

Click the little shopping basket image under the free product(s) that you’d like to add to your order.  If you change your mind, click the small icon to the right of the shopping cart button with the “x” on it.  That will remove the item from your cart and allow you to add something else.

If you’ve earned a level 2 item, click the “+” arrow to the right of that heading and those items will appear as options to add to your cart.

If you’ve earned the free host stamp set with an order of $300+, you can click the “+” button to the right of the header to add that item to your cart.

Once you’ve added your items to the cart, the “continue” button on the upper right will turn pink and you can click on it and then check out like you normally would.  If you don’t want the free items, you can chose to “check out without using my rewards” but you will not be able to cash in those free items later.  So make sure that you add the items that you’d like before you check out!

Hopefully these changes will make the store easier to use and navigate for Sale-a-bration!  You’ll see the addition of the Sale-a-bration items to the checkout process beginning on August 3 and running through September 30.  Let me know if you have questions as you start placing those orders on Tuesday!

HAPPY SHOPPING!!!

Stampin’ UP Shaded Summer for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Does anyone have any plans for the weekend yet? I’ll be working all weekend between both jobs. I had requested Sunday off, but I guess they didn’t see it when they made up the schedule.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Shaded Summer Cling Stamp Set for my card along with the Summer Shadow Dies (available August 3rd as a Sale-a-bration item).

This is the template for making my card. I started by cutting a panel of Calypso Coral cardstock as in the diagram above.

I adhered 2 panels of the Petal Pink Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series paper to the card front panels using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered 2 more panels of the Subtle DSP to the inside card front panels using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I made the belly band using a strip of Calypso Coral cardstock and wrapped it around the finished card. I adhered Tear & Tape to the ends of the belly band to adhere them together. I cut a panel of Petal Pink cardstock using the largest die from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I stamped it with the floral image from the Shaded Summer stamp set in Petal Pink Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Many Happenings Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink and cut it out using the Messages Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the die cut panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals and then adhered it to the belly band using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Champagne Rhinestones to the belly band.

For the inside panel I stamped the 2 floral images from the Shaded Summer stamp set in Petal Pink Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Elegantly Said Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink over the floral image. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Calypso Coral mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to only the bottom portion of the easel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Calypso Coral card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Using the Summer Shadow Dies (Sale-a-bration item available August 3rd). I adhered a panel of Calypso Coral and Shaded Spruce cardstocks to an Adhesive Sheet. I cut the detailed flowers from a panel of Calypso Coral cardstock. I cut the solid flowers from a panel of Petal Pink cardstock. I cut the detailed leaves from a panel of Shaded Spruce cardstock and the solid leaves from a panel of Soft Succulent cardstock. I adhered the detailed flowers and leaves to the solid flowers and leaves using the Adhesive Sheet. I adhered the flowers to the bottom of the inner liner using Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhered the leaves using a Glue Dot. I added a Champagne Rhinestone to the center of the larger flower. I didn’t stamp a sentiment on the inside. I need to write a special message for the recipient of the card.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the floral images from the Shaded Summer stamp set in Petal Pink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Petal Pink Subtle DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. If you do CASE this card, please feel free to post it in the comments of my Facebook page under this post. I’d love to see your take on the card. The list of measurements are below if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video. You can watch my video on my Facebook page Here.

Stampin’ Up! Feels Like Home For The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends! Welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. If you are hopping over from Akiko Sudano’s blog, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a Sketch Challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. I have a little sneak peek for you today coming from the August-December 2021 Mini Catalog that will be available August 3rd. Here is my card using this weeks Sketch.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Feels Like Home Cling Stamp Set which will be a Sale-A-Bration item starting on August 3rd.

I started by stamping the large image from the Feels Like Home stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the image our using my Stitched Rectangle Dies. I had to adjust the size of the die by cutting part of the image, turning the panel around and moving the die matching up the stitching and cutting the other half. I adhered the artwork to a Crumb Cake mat using Stampin’ Seal. I stamped the small flowerpot image from the Feels Like Home stamp set on the panel of Basic White cardstock in Crumb Cake Ink. I colored the image in using my Highland Heather and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut the image using my Paper Snips and adhered it to the bottom of the layered panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On another panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Feels Like Home stamp set in Crumb cake Ink. I tore the edges of the paper and sponged the rough edges using my Stamping Sponge and Crumb Cake Ink. I embossed a Crumb Cake card front using the new Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (available August 3rd) and adhered it to a Crumb Cake card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered the sentiment panel to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the new Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Cling Stamp Set on a Basic White panel. I tore the edges of the panel and sponged the edges using my Stamping Sponge and Crumb Cake Ink. I stamped the flowerpot image from the Feels Like Home stamp set on the bottom of the panel and colored it in using my Highland Heather and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Crumb Cake mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Crumb Cake card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the larger image from the Feels Like Home stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the small flowerpot image from the Feels Like Home stamp set on the envelope flap. I colored the image with my Highland Heather and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers.

Stampin’ Up! Punch Party Birthday

Good Sunday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s weekend going? I’ll be at work for a bit today closing out for the month. Hopefully it will be a very short day.

Today is a very sad day. It’s the last day of Sale-A-Bration, the last day for the awesome Joining Special and the last day to earn this stamp set I used for today’s card. If you haven’t gotten your orders in yet, don’t wait any longer. You don’t want to wait till tonight at the last minute when there could be tech problems and you miss out on your free items. Here is my last Sale-A-Bration card for you this week.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Punch Party Photopolymer Sale-A-Bration Host Stamp Set for my card along with the Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper.

I started by adhering a panel of Paper Blooms DSP to an Old Olive card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Using the same side Stitched Rectangle Die for all 3 pieces, I cut a panel of Night of Navy, Rococo Rose and Paper Blooms DSP. I adhered the 3 panels on the card front using Stampin’ Seal and Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Punch Party stamp set in Old Olive Ink. I punched the sentiment out using my Rectangle Postage Stamp Punch. I colored the flowers on the sentiment using my Rococo Rose Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I made a small bow using the Night of Navy 1/8″ ribbon from the Playing With Patterns Ribbon Combo Pack and adhered it to the sentiment using a Glue Dot.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Punch Party stamp set in Old Olive Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the small flower image from the Punch Party stamp set next to the sentiment in Old Olive Ink and colored the flowers using my Rococo Rose Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Sea Foam mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Old Olive card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small flower image from the Punch Party stamp set in Old Olive Ink across the bottom of the envelope front and colored the flowers in using my Rococo Rose Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Paper Blooms DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! A Touch Of Ink Thank You

Good Saturday morning my fellow stampers and welcome to the weekend. Does anyone have any plans? I’ll be at work all day today and tomorrow. Tomorrow is the last day of the month so I have to close out the books. Hopefully it will be a short day. Speaking of the last day of the month, Sale-A-Bration ends tomorrow. Don’t miss out on those awesome stamp sets and Designer Series Paper.

For today I used one more of the Sale-A-Bration stamp sets and DSP for my card. Even though Sale-A-Bration was 2 months, I feel like I didn’t have enough time to play with everything. Here’s my card for today.

I used the beautiful Stampin’ Up! A Touch Of Ink Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card along with the gorgeous Oh So Ombre 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper.

I started by adhering a panel of the Oh So Ombre DSP to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted panel to a Blackberry Bliss card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On another strip of the Oh So Ombre DSP I stamped the sentiment from A Touch Of Ink stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the lightest end of the paper. I cut the strip into a banner using my Banner Triple Punch and adhered it to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the outline flower, outline leaves and the outline hummingbird images from A Touch Of Ink stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images in using my Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Just Jade, Poppy Parade, Purple Posy and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using largest circle from my Stitched Shapes Dies. I cut the largest scalloped circle from the Layering Circle Dies from a panel of Basic White cardstock and adhered the artwork to the scalloped circle using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Purple Posy Playing With Patterns Resin Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Ornate Thanks Photopolymer Stamp Set in tuxedo Black Ink towards the top of a Basic White panel. I stamped the leaves image from A Touch Of Ink stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the corner of the panel and colored them in using my Just Jade Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Oh So Ombre mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Blackberry Bliss card base using Stampin’ Seal.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the outlined flower and outlined leaves images from A Touch Of Ink stamp set on the envelope front. I colored the images in using my Daffodil Delight, Just Jade and Purple Posy Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of the Oh So Ombre DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! A Touch Of Ink for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Are you ready for the weekend? I’ll be working both days this weekend. It’s the end of the month so I have to work in the office for a bit on Sunday.

Today’s card I made on my Facebook Live video on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below along with the links to my Facebook page and my YouTube channel. I used the Stampin’ Up! A Touch Of Ink Sale-A-Bration Photopolymer Stamp Set and Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper for my card. These 2 items will only be available for 2 more days. Sale-A-Bration ends on Sunday February 28, 2021. Here’s my card for today.

I played along with Festive Friday Challenge #0078. I have Flower, Glitter (the gems), it’s for Girls/Women, there’s a Fun Fold and Female Sentiment.

I started by adhering a Petal Pink panel to the front of my Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a Paper Blooms DSP card front to a Rococo Rose mat using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the outline butterfly image from A Touch Of Ink stamp set in Night of Navy Ink. I stamped over the outline with the fill image in Petal Pink Ink. I cut the image out using my Stitched Shapes Dies. I adhered it to a Night of Navy square mat, that I cut using my Layering Squares Dies, using Stampin’ Seal.

I stamped the sentiment from A Touch Of Ink stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock and cut it out using my Stitched Shapes Dies. I adhered it to a Night of Navy mat which I also cut using my Stitched Shapes Dies. I took a 2″ X 6″ strip of Night of Navy card stock and scored it at 2″ & 2 1/4″. I punched the longer end using my Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. I adhered the sentiment to the shorter end, before the 1st score line of the Night of Navy strip, only putting adhesive on the left side of the sentiment. I folded on the 2 score lines and adhered the matted butterfly image on the edge of the 2nd score line using Tear & Tape Adhesive. Using my Classic Label Punch, I centered it from side to side on the card front and pushed the card front in as far as it would go and punched the label. I inserted the Night of Navy strip from the front to the back of the card front, inserting the scalloped end in first. I added Tear & Tape Adhesive just to the outside edge of the sentiment and adhered it to the card front about 1/2″ from the right side. I adhered the card front to the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Blue Adhesive-Backed Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Happy Thoughts Cling
Stamp Set
in the center of a Basic White panel in Night of Navy Ink. I stamped the outline butterfly image from A Touch Of Ink stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on the bottom of the panel. I stamped the butterfly fill image over the outlined image in Petal Pink Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Petal Pink mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the butterfly image from A Touch Of Ink stamp set on the envelope front the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Paper Blooms DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. The list of measurements are below if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video. You can watch my video on my Facebook page Here.

You can also view the video on my YouTube channel Here. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Darling Donkey for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. If you are hopping over from Akiko, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a Fun Fold Challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects.

I used the Sale-A-Bration Stampin’ Up! Darling Donkey Cling Stamp Set for my card along with the Flower & Field Designer Series Paper to make a drapery fold for you. With this DSP the flowers matched up perfectly for me with the folds. Here is our theme for this week.

I started with a panel of Flower & Field DSP that measured 11 1/2″ X 4″ and scored it at 3″, 4″, 6″, 7″, 9″ & 10″. I made a little mark 1″ down on the end and cut from the 3″ score line to the 1″ mark. See the diagram below. I made mountain folds at the 4″, 7″ & 10″ score lines. I made valley folds at the 3″, 6″ & 9″ score lines.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sitting donkey image from the Darling Donkey stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image in using my Crumb Cake, Gray Granite, Ivory and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the folded DSP to the card front using Stampin’ Seal just on the 3″ X 4″ end. I stamped the sentiment from the Darling Donkey stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink next to the donkey once I knew there was enough room. I adhered the 1″ end using Stampin’ Seal on the Basic White and adhering the DSP down. I added a couple Glue Dots between the folds to hold them in place. I trimmed the excess off using my Paper Snips. The folded DSP measured 4″ X 5 1/2″ but I wanted it to fit my 4″ X 5 1/4″ card front so I had to trim.

I wrapped a piece of Bumblebee 1/4″ In-Color Ribbon around the card front and tied a bow. I added a few Bumblebee 2020-2022 In-Color Enamel Dots to the card front. I adhered the card front to a Poppy Parade card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! A Touch Of Ink Photopolymer Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink in the center of a Basic White panel. I stamped the standing donkey from the Darling Donkey stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored it in using my Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green, Gray Granite, Ivory, Petal Pink and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a strip of the Flower & Field DSP to the bottom of the panel using Stampn’ Seal. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Bumblebee mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Poppy Parade card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the donkey image from the Darling Donkey stamp set on the envelope front and colored it in the same as I did for the card. I stamped the little star image from the Darling Donkey stamp set around the donkey in Tuxedo Black Ink. I adhered a panel of the Flower & Field DSP to the envelope flap.
